Von has never played less than 76% of the snaps on defense. Just last year with the Rams he was on the field 79% of the time. When asked earlier about rotation, Von said he’s for it, but doesn’t want to be off the field for more than a couple plays here or there. He said he can’t make an impact from the sideline. Interested to see how this goes down. He also needs to play the majority of his snaps from the left side as that’s where he’s been most effective throughout his career. Rams actually tried to play him on the right when he first got there, but by the end of the season it was almost 100% on the left.

They’re all learning from each other. There was an article in The Athletic this morning detailing everything: Pass Rush Summit Here’s Maxx Crosby showing Groot his signature spin move.

Desoto to College Station is more like a 2.5 hour drive. Never been to the A&M campus, but a 2.5 hour drive is still relatively close within the confines of TX. When I lived in Lubbock I had friends from the suburbs of Houston, which was a 9 hour drive away. That state is too big.

More from Webb on Allen

That’s what I took from it as well. Can’t be happy with the amount of drops I’m hearing Stevenson has had.

Nothing crazy, just a friendly $100 wager. Edit: Let me know if the bet is good. Not saying you’re the type who’d later try to collect on an unconfirmed bet, but it has to be agreed upon before it’s valid.

I’m no Tua fan but I’ll take you up on your bet if you’re serious. His backup is Teddy Bridgewater.

Outside of the beginning of this season when he was coming back from Covid, his play at LT has been great. And there are still some here who want to move him inside to guard 🙄

Wouldn’t doubt that Brady has had plastic surgery. He reportedly went to a hair transplant clinic in R.I. around 2010, although the docs at that clinic won’t confirm nor deny. We know the bald gene is on the X chromosome, from the mother’s side, but Brady’s father was practically cue ball bald as well.

From Joe B, scouting the Matt vs Matt puntapalooza: Bills OTAs Perhaps all the talk and energy regarding Araiza’s ability to hold should’ve been focused on his lack of hang time. Need him to get that aspect of his game solidified. He has only punted competitively for one year.

2020 first round pick of the Vikings. Would be indicted for domestic violence and subsequently released by the Vikings in Aug 2021. He would later be found not guilty of the charges. Gladney signed with the Cardinals in March 2022. RIP. Far too young.

Chase is one of the few receivers I’d trade Diggs for. I know it’s blasphemous to speak against your own superstar, but that guy is scary explosive.

I’ve only been to Buffalo twice, so I can’t speak on the hotness scale of the ladies there, but I often hear how unattractive they are. Why is this, do you think? If we take a large sample size like UB, what percentage of those young women do you think would be considered “hot”?

It’s likely so that anyone can play at any time, without the bounce of the basketball disturbing the people inside.

Both parents are civil engineers who earn a combined salary of close to $200,000/yr. The way you describe them is a bit disingenuous, “they don’t need to put on shoes to use the bathroom.” The article you referenced does a pretty good job of illustrating what Payton’s family life was like and why everyone who knew this kid was completely surprised by his actions. Were they also wrong in their assessments of his smarts, or intelligence? I have no idea. Again, I only shared their thoughts and referenced his parents’ achievements to suggest he likely didn’t have a low IQ (majoring in any engineering field is extremely difficult. I’d like to believe that I’m intelligent, but I couldn’t come close to hacking it in Comp Sci). The kid had them all fooled, he was living a lie. We can blame his parents for not looking closer. The speeding ticket outside of Buffalo should’ve brought questions for one. We know who Payton Gendron is today because of his evil acts. Don’t get it misunderstood, my opinions of the boy ARE formed because of what he did, but there’s an extremely long list of dictators and terrorists who carried faulty logic or beliefs in their evil plans, but the fault doesn’t suggest that all were of low IQ. That’s my argument.

Maybe you should learn to read because nowhere did I call him a prodigy. I have no idea who this kid is, only repeated what those around him have said about him “the boy is very intelligent. His parents aren’t some hillbillies from the sticks, both are engineers and well-off. Payton was going to pursue engineering as well.” My argument was that an idiotic belief system doesn’t necessarily equate to a low IQ. One can be intelligent in many other areas, but lack logical reasoning in another.

I have no idea what any of that means.

Heard the visor is not allowed.

Are you saying Payton is low IQ? Both parents are engineers, everyone surrounding him stated how intelligent he was, he wanted to be an engineer himself. I don’t think he’s low IQ, he’s just evil. Evil people can be highly intelligent.

Bates is a very athletic lineman. I thought brute strength was a weakness in his game, but he held up well in his starts. I don’t remember him being blatantly overpowered once and he went up against some good ones. Makes you wonder why it took so long for him to see the field. Backing up all the interior positions isn’t an excuse to me when he outperformed the starter at his job.

When asked about the energy Jordan and Shaq bring to the team, McD brought up Tim Settle’s name unsolicited as a guy who also compares, meaning he left an undeniable impression. McD said he wants it to stay on the field so it doesn’t become a detriment. Hopefully Settle can be found gold for the Bills, he was behind some real difference makers in Washington.

I liked the Chandler Jones comparison to Rousseau, similar size too. Jones wasn’t as fast as Rousseau, but he was more agile and explosive. Not by much though. But you’re right, maybe Greg becomes his own thing.

Taylor was a much twitchier athlete than Rousseau. Their RAS scores bear that out as well: Gregory Rousseau RAS Jason Taylor RAS

Instead of kneel downs you’d probably get QB sneaks to get that yard and the league doesn’t want to put its darlings in jeopardy.

Fitz is smarter and more charismatic than Brady, he just has a lot less talent. I think Fitz would be a more interesting listen in a broadcast booth as well, he loves his stories. Maybe Brady feels challenged by that, I don’t know.
